RE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S REFERENCE (NO. 8 OF 2011) sub nom R v STEVEN FIELDS (2012)

PUBLISHED February 3, 2012
SHARE

[2011] EWCA Crim 3246

Concurrent sentences of four years' imprisonment imposed for making threats to kill, common assault and theft were unduly lenient. The sentencing judge had acted on wholly wrong principles in considering whether the offender was dangerous. A sentence of imprisonment for public protection with a minimum term of two years was appropriate.
